Picture Rocks Bike Ride – Tucson, AZ

picture rocks bike ride

Picture Rocks bike ride a great ride on Tucson’s west side of town.

The ride has some awesome desert scenery and some breath taking views as well as a couple short “breath-taking” climbs.

Be careful coming down the back (west) side of Gates Pass because it is a fast, narrow decent with some very tight turns so control your speed.

Also be careful on Picture Rocks Road because the road does not have much of a shoulder so watch out for cars.
